This is Sony's first controller to not share the DualShock name.

Sony says the controller will have haptic feedback, allowing players to feel a variety of sensations when gaming such as the grittiness of a car driving through mud.

Adaptive triggers have been added to the L2 and R2 buttons which will bring tension to actions that are performed onscreen such as drawing a bow to shoot an arrow.

Also included is a new Create button that will replace the Share button on the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 and a built-in microphone which can be used to chat with players without the need of a headset.

"Our goal with DualSense is to give gamers the feeling of being transported into the game world as soon as they open the box.

We want gamers to feel like the controller is an extension of themselves when they're playing - so much so that they forget that it's even in their hands!"
